HEALTH BENEFITS from EATING HEMP HEARTS

Increased Energy: Eating 4 to 5 tbs. of hemp hearts will result in a natural protein powered energy boost. You will not require a "coffee fix" as soon as you get up from bed; you will not need pastries, candies, chocolate bars or sweet sugared drinks to get you through the afternoon!

Weight Management: If you consume 4 to 5 tbs. of hemp hearts with your morning meal, wholegrain cereal and fruits, oatmeal, yogurt...expect to be free of hunger until mid afternoon. Depending on your health and weight you may choose to skip lunch completely. Many people choose to drink a herbal tea in the afternoon when they first get hungry, then you can choose to have a healthy salad in the evening. Doing so you can look to loosing 1 pound per day.

Remember to avoid or cut down on products made with white sugar, white flour, potatoes, pasta and rice, and remember not to overcompensate for fasting by eating more.

Improved Digestion: You will find that you no longer suffer with constipation, it will be reduced or eliminated. It is impossible to be constipated while eating significant amounts of hemp hearts. Highly processed foods, especially starches can cause constipation. A healthy diet aids digestion and will create better health, you can expect to eliminate after every meal leaving the colon empty much of the time.

Persons who eat mostly starches will not empty out the colon until there is little space remaining and the fiber-less wastes have become compacted. These persons will carry their wastes for relatively long periods of time creating illnesses, toxemia and disease.

Also: The outer shell is a form of insoluble fiber, which when broken down, becomes a cleansing agent for the digestive tract and is an effective intestinal lubricant.

Hemp Hearts are easily adapted to good dietary eating, they can be added to shakes, fruit smoothies, can be made into hemp milk, used on hot or cold cereals, placed into pitas, sandwiches, cakes, cookies, placed into stir-fries, casseroles, breads, squares and pastries...

On must not forget about the essential fatty acids contained in Hemp hearts that are of value in aiding our immune system response to many late onset health concerns. - (Omega 3, Omega 6 & GLA)

Why is Industrial Hemp Better for the Environment than other Food Crops

Hemp usually requires very little fertilizer, it grows well almost everywhere. It is pest resistant so it needs no pesticides. Using less fertilizer and pesticides is good for two reasons; first it costs less and requires less effort. Second; many agricultural chemicals are harmful to the environment the less we use the better. Industrial hemp is also drought resistant.

Hemp puts down deep roots up to 6 feet, when turned back into the soil it enriches it. Also the leaves that fall off the hemp plant are rich in minerals and nitrogen, these are also returned to the soil to enrich it. This extensive root system also helps to alleviate the problem of soil compaction. Hemp has been grown on the same soil for more than twenty years without any noticeable soil depletion.

Many Governments Use Hemp Seeds as an Emergency Food in Case of Starvation

The U.S. Government confirmed the Value of Hemp with an Executive Order, the President designated hemp as a strategic crop of importance to national security (EO 12919, June 3 1994,
Federal Regulation 29525).

Personally I find this rather hypocritical of U.S. politicians to have banned a food product, in a time when the price of food is on the rise due to high gas prices. Here we have an Executive Order, "telling us that it is a strategic crop of national importance" and still they lay hold to the false claim that Industrial Hemp is Marijuana. If politicians really want to help foreign nations, why don't they teach them about Industrial Hemp, its many uses, it can provide food for starving nations, shelter, clothing... At the same time it will make jobs available to American workers!

I am proud that since March 1998 Canada has had the foresight to legalize Industrial Hemp Farming. Hemp farming has a significant role to play in mankind's future. It will help the farm economy, our health, and will contribute to a "Whole Earth" solution, it will aid mankind to overcome starvation problems in different countries and reduce the environmental pollution problems we now face.
